I´m Áslaug. A mother, a wife, a grandmother.
I´ve had the accommodation in my house since 1989, in a house I grew up in and was built by my grandfather.
My husband and I bought one of the oldest houses in Iceland (ANN(phone number hidden), it´s located next to the guesthouse, It´s been completely renovated. The major renovation started 1998 and formally finished 2005. I´m willing to share informations about the houses and our town, I´m also very interested in photographs and photography.

Reviews From Guests

Áslaug was very nice and welcomig. The kitchen is a little old, but clean and as the rooms are in the cellar, it was a little dark. But the location is very good (close to the supermarket)!
We enjoyed our stay and recommend it!

We stayed in one of the guesthouses managed by the host, which was in the basement of her home. Our biggest complaint was that the directions to find the building were nearly impossible to understand (without being provided an actual address), which lead to a stressful time finding it. The rooms had good facilities (2 bathrooms and 2 showers) and while the home is definitely old it seemed clean and well-maintained. I loved having our own sink in the room! Having a separate fee for wireless internet seems a bit ridiculous these days, as everywhere else we stayed offered it at no charge. Otherwise, since Isafjordur is nearly tourist-free in September, we had the place nearly to ourselves.
The location is wonderful, right beside a nice park and within view of main street. It was quite and comfortable. Gisting was also a very welcoming host, explaining the town and some things that we could do (especially since many things have slowed down for the winter).
Overall, an older but well maintained place to stay. I did think it was slightly overpriced for what you got (but everywhere in Iceland seems somewhat that way).

The guesthouse is as described and perfectly fine to stay in, although not special in any way. Everything was clean, the kitchen was ok. The location, however, is fantastic. Overall, it was a decent stay, but a bit overpriced for what you get (compared to our other stays in Iceland).

I actually didn't expect it to be underground - it's a basement guesthouse - keep this in mind! The room was clean, there were 2 single-sized beds in my room, including a sink and a desk and chair - and all was very clean. Remember to ASK for the wifi when you meet Aslaug.

Aslaug was very welcoming and her guesthouse well-equipped, clean and comfortable. She knows a lot about the local region and its history and is a mine of information!
Definitely check out the fish restaurant Tjöruhúsið while you are there!
